All Months
March through May is perfect — temperatures in the 70s and 80s without the summer humidity. October and November work too, though you might catch a random 90-degree day. Summer gets brutal. We're talking 95 degrees with 80% humidity that makes walking outside feel like entering a sauna. But here's the upside: hotel rates drop by half, and you'll have the beaches mostly to yourself. Just plan your sightseeing for early morning or evening. Winter brings snowbirds from up north, so expect crowds at restaurants and higher hotel rates. December and January can surprise you with 40-degree mornings, though afternoons usually warm up to the 60s. Hurricane season runs June through November, but Jacksonville rarely takes direct hits thanks to its position on the northeast Florida coast.
